Well, that's Christmas for another year.
I hope where ever you are you had a lovely day with those you love around you.
Our day started with a visit to Tony's 95 year old mother in the Nursing home.
With the rest of the family away we ( Sally, Tony and I ) took some goodies and champagne and spent a couple of hours with her there.
Nana loves the sweet stuff so she had a ball.
She also loves animals so Scout came along too.
and so did Sally's new addition....
"Jem "
( there's a little "To Kill a Mockingbird " theme going on here )
More about him another time - 8 weeks old and very cute!
Note to self : Drinking champagne in the middle of the day can be dangerous !
We arrived back home round 1:00pm and all three of us were soon dozing in chairs around the house.
So were the dogs !
Our Christmas Dinner was eaten at night this year and with only the three of us for a change it was very relaxed.
No dressing up in good clothes for us.
Comfortable shorts and t-shirts were the order of the day.
However we did not skimp on the good stuff for dinner.
The ham was the standout.....absolutely delicious.
and the rest was pretty good too.
( Sorry forgot to take a photo till it was half gone !)
For dessert there was a choice of
Pavlova
or
Christmas Pud
( this year we had Heston Blumenthal's pudding with a whole candied orange in the centre - O my !
Of course we all had a bit of both !!!
As we say every year - tomorrow the diet begins
( after we've eaten all the leftovers !)
Cheers.
